General Info

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work? PicoSure represents a major advancement in laser tattoo removal. It is the only device equipped with a picosecond laser and uses PressureWave laser light bursts to shatter underlying tattoo inks into microscopic particles. The ink particles are then naturally eliminated through the circulatory and lymphatic systems. Other tattoo removal lasers rely on heat energy to melt the pigment. Unfortunately, the extreme heat from the laser can also burn your skin and leave scars. PicoSure does not cause permanent damage to your skin and is safe for all skin types. What to Expect When Removing Tattoos with PicoSure Several factors, including the tattoo’s size and color, will determine the number of sessions needed to remove it. Some people say that the procedure is less painful than getting a tattoo and don’t usually require anesthetic. After treatment, patients may experience a temporary sunburn-like sensation and some frosting of the skin, but scarring is rare. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately following treatment without any downtime.
